Christmas and New Year rubbish and recycling - Dorset Council

  • We will collect up to two extra sacks of rubbish beside your bin on your first rubbish collection after Christmas Day
  • No garden waste collections will take place from Christmas Day until Thursday 8 January
  • Household recycling centres are open from 9am to 4pm daily, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day
  • Extra recycling, including glass and food, will be collected on your recycling collection day, provided it has been separated correctly and placed in a suitable sturdy container (no bags) that can be easily lifted by one person.
  • Please help our crews by putting your glass out for collection before Christmas. This ensures you have as much space as possible in your glass box, helping prevent over spilling containers, and reduces the amount of extra glass we collect over the busy festive period.
